So hard not to be fking angry about how @RedCrossAU treated me & other Aboriginal staff. How ppl weren’t held to account. How it’s almost 3 months since I made a complaint & it’s gone nowhere. Please help me keep the pressure on them. https://t.co/PuD4z5uv19
I spoke to 5 Aboriginal ppl connected to @RedCrossAU in one day. One at a funeral. Their treatment all the same. Racism, dismissed, broken. The told me about Evac Centres, complaining about the treatment of Indigenous resident & nothing came of it 🙏🏽 Sign https://t.co/PuD4z5uv19
If you are able to, send money to the brilliant Wirlomin Noongar writer @clairegcoleman at her Kofi https://t.co/A1dqC7Ig8F. Help her to keep writing so you can keep reading.
I've just finished reading The Old Lie by @clairegcoleman. It is one of the most extraordinary books I've ever read. Essential reading. Do yourself multiple favours and buy a copy now.
The next person I want to highlight is amazing journalist and Gomeroi woman @MadelineHayman. She's just moved to Cairns to support family and has put a call-out for aid. You can see her bank details here: https://t.co/Qp7VjKJxO6
@femmocollective I could be way off base. But I vaguely remember that was how Pandora music worked way back. Pandora started in 2000 though. I definitely remember the site taking an age to load.
The @QldGov gov threatens to destroy sacred Kabi nation site Djaki Kundu with a highway upgrade. More cultural genocide. Donate to the legal fund https://t.co/VtSMIqhX7k. More info https://t.co/THKpEQ9j01. Other actions/call https://t.co/d2Z5X8yvP6
If you're able to, I strongly recommend giving money to incredible Gugu Yalanji /Koko Lama woman @flashblak. She is one of the many First Nations peoples whose education work online I benefit from. You can give here: https://t.co/Bsk8AEfEh1
@gaz0253@JackBrody19@AlboMP Let's put aside whether those stats are accurate or not. I think it's more important for you to explain why population majority by itself is a valid justification. African American people enslaved in America were the population minority. Did that majority justify slavery?
@australian_ben Great. Now why do you think issues like poverty, inadequate public services, high unemployment etc disproportionately affect FN peoples?
I don't necessarily agree with the single parent home thing, but let's just focus on the other issues.
@PaulJac81353155@Bobbie_Evans@pRonger @lidia__thorpe @ATTG_podcast I can see this conversation won't go anywhere. But feel free to have the last word in reply to this! As a treat.
@PaulJac81353155@Bobbie_Evans@pRonger @lidia__thorpe @ATTG_podcast You clearly have no clue about this issue. No person, no FN person, ever says a child should stay in an abusive household. FN people offer a suite of alternatives to the ineffective gov interventions, involving things like kinship and solutions to core drivers of violence.
@PaulJac81353155@Bobbie_Evans@pRonger @lidia__thorpe @ATTG_podcast I know. I'm saying that they are being stolen again. They were stolen originally because of a gov policy that framed itself as caring for the children. The same type of justification of care is being used today. I encourage you to read this. https://t.co/bvRgF3D7dF
